Helmet for a narrow head (aesthetically speaking)

So I know it's kinda vain but I feel like my helmet makes me look like a big mushroom out there on the road. I have a Bell Sweep R and it just seems to "stick out" a lot. Curious if anybody has the same issues and has any suggestions on other helmets that might look better on a narrow head.

Try other brands to optimize for your head shape.

I needed a XL with Bell but a medium Giro fits great.

I have the same problem. Some of the more expensive Giros fit tighter, but for commuting I bought a Bell Furio. I would just suggest shopping around, and seeing what looks best. Bring a mirror!

Furio? is it a model named after an Italian? or the soldier of Tony Soprano?
